The Trump administration is reportedly preparing to revive and expand travel bans that may soon bar citizens of Afghanistan and Pakistan from entering the United States. As concerns escalate around security and counterterrorism, new restrictions could be implemented as early as next week. Observers suggest that these potential bans could add to the existing list of countries facing travel restrictions, which includes Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. The proposed measures have sparked criticism, with many labeling them as unfortunate setbacks that could affect thousands of individuals, including a significant number of children in the U.S. who may face the threat of self-deportation. Officials are finalizing plans, and reactions from the affected countries are expected as the situation develops.
